When it comes to objects of automotive lust, few tip the scales further than the Lamborghini Aventador.
Naturally, most mere mortals (like us) can't come up with nearly enough
expendable income to ever fulfill the dream of owning an actual,
drivable toy like that.

If we can't afford the real thing, at least we can get ourselves a
smaller scale model, right? Well, maybe... unless the 1:8 scale
Aventador you've got your eye on comes with seats, headlights and
steering wheel made from diamonds, wheels fashioned from gold and
platinum and a perfectly scaled copy of the body crafted from carbon
fiber.

Just how much would such a fancy bauble cost? We hope you're sitting
down: at least $4.7 million. Yes, in dollars. Auction house Sotheby's
plans to sell the wee Lambo to the highest bidder in December with the
lofty starting price just quoted, but if you just can't wait to get your
hands on it, you can buy it from Robert Gülpen, the modeler, for a cool $6 mil.
